Committed, Determined, Destined

In Helping Our “At Risk” Youth

The mission of the Stay Off The Streets Fund is to support youth charities which provide structured programs for teenagers transitioning into adulthood.  When asked why he rallies behind this charitable youth fund, Kevin M. Weeks, Author of a collection of urban crime fiction novels titled The Street Life Series®, replied, “I’m committed, determined, and destined to help “at risk” youth stay off the streets.

Growing up on the rough side of West Philadelphia (West Philly), Pennsylvania and Prince George’s County, Maryland in the 1970’s and early 1980’s, Kevin M. Weeks remembers when he turned 18 years old and “aged out” of the foster care system.  This is the pivotal point when he found himself homeless on the streets.  

Shortly thereafter, Weeks enrolled in the U.S. Department of Labor Job Corps, an educational and training program for economically disadvantaged youth between the ages of 16 and 24 years old.  

Supporters of the Stay Off The Streets Fund believe that this essential transitional period from teenager into adulthood is the area which requires additional focus.  We understand the needs and requirements of at-risk youth, to include physical, spiritual and emotional support.

This website is designed to provide a one-stop resource directory of the available resources for teens transitioning into adulthood.  Check back often for news and updates.  Together, we commit to maintain a hands-on approach in identifying and supporting the most effective non-profit charitable programs in this field.  In addition, book proceeds from The Street Life Series® benefit the Stay off the Streets Fund.
